In this example we will bill a child account (see the Child Account Creation Example guide) using the package that was added in the Account Package Example guide. Since we set the child account to invoice to the parent account we should see a new invoice generated under the parent account when the billing is complete. If you did not create a child account you can simply bill any parent account with an active account-package on itan account and generate an invoice when billing is complete.
For additional details on the fields presented on the Account Packages screen see the Account Packages Screen screen help.

Result
After the bill run completes the options configured in the bill run should take effect (bill packages, generate an invoice, etc.). To validate this:
Check the Next Bill Date on the package billed. They should be updated to their next billing date (a month forward in this case for a monthly package)
Check to see if an invoice was created by loading on the account configured to be invoiced (the parent account in this example). This can be done by clicking on the account name in the breadcrumb
Next click the Billing menu
by loading the Billing screen
The first screen you’ll see is the Invoices screen where the newly created invoice should be displayed. Click on the invoice to bring up the list of transactions that were attached to it from the bill run
Selecting the invoice and clicking on the Transactions tab will give you a break down of charges applied related to the account-package billed. In the image below the one time activation charge ($75.00) and recurring service charge ($50.00) from the Test Package have been properly applied
